City & Place Guide

Gateway to Yellowstone with small-town Western charm and rugged beauty.

Powell is a small agricultural city in northwestern Wyoming, nestled in the Bighorn Basin near the Shoshone River. Founded in 1909 as part of the Bureau of Reclamation's irrigation project, it retains a friendly, unhurried character that appeals to travelers seeking an authentic slice of the American West.

Surrounded by dramatic high-desert landscapes, Powell serves as a convenient base for exploring Yellowstone National Park, just about 80 miles to the west via scenic Highway 14A. The town is home to Northwest College, which lends a modest cultural energy to an otherwise quiet community.

Visitors appreciate Powell's affordability compared to more touristy neighboring towns like Cody. The area offers outdoor recreation, local history, and easy access to some of Wyoming's most spectacular natural scenery.

  • •Homesteader Museum — documents Powell's early settler and irrigation history
  • •Shoshone River — scenic waterway ideal for fishing and riverside walks
  • •Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area — stunning canyon lake system about an hour east
  • •Cody (nearby) — Buffalo Bill Center of the West and nightly summer rodeo

Getting around: Powell has no public transit system, so a personal vehicle or rental car is essential for getting around town and exploring the surrounding region. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have very limited availability. The nearest commercial airport is Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody, about 25 miles west, which offers connections via Denver.

Best time: Late spring through early fall (May–September) offers the best weather for outdoor activities and road trips to Yellowstone.

Local food: Try hearty Wyoming beef dishes at local diners, bison burgers, and don't miss a stop at a ranch-style steakhouse in nearby Cody for an authentic regional meal.
